This week was really good and
went by way too fast. I feel like I don't have enough time in the week
to even remember all the things we have to do. But we are working very
hard and having a lot of fun.
Update for our investigator P., She is still on date to get baptized on the 1st of August
and she is super excited. We taught her twice this week and she accepts
everything very well. We still have a lot to teach her but she`ll be
just fine. She really is one of those investigators who was already
prepared. but she still needs a lot of prayers because the time before
the baptism can be very hard for the investigators.
We
taught a young man named A. He has a ton of questions about
everything. the whole lesson was him just asking us questions. We`re
working with him on true intention and praying to receive and answer and
to feel like baptism is something he should do, and not just for him to
be curious about the church. He hasnt come to church yet and he
confessed to us that he felt a little pressured from the elders before
us that if he goes to church it means he`s committing to baptism which
is not true... so we`ll see how it goes with him.
We
taught the menos activa P. that we found last week. We were able to
teach her and her husband E. the restoration and the Spirit was
very strong but in the end E. doesn't want anything to do with us,
he was a little rude... so we`re going to keep trying but in the mean
time focus on building the testimony of Pamela. It's a difficult
situation.
We found a menos activo named
J who works in a floral shop and he`s the best. He has a very strong testimony but his wife doesn't like the church and so he doesn't come on Sundays because he doesn't want problems with his family. It breaks my
heart, but we`re going to work really hard with him. He has a very
special spirit and a lot of potential and there is a lot of hope for
him. He reminds me of R :)
On Thursday
we had a ward noche de hogar and there was a good number of people that
showed up. it was super fun. and we saw the hermana V from
Valdivia again, shes following us around haha.
On Friday
we had a lesson planned with a converso reciente and we wanted to have
lesson with member, we had someone planned but when we called she said
she had to cancel, so we called 10 hermanas in the ward and all of them
said no. We were just about to give up when we got a call from an
unknown number. We answered and it turns out it was the mom of P
who was visiting from Santiago, She's a member and she told us she had
the whole afternoon to wait for her daughter to get home from work so
she asked P for our number and gave us a call to see if she could
go out with us to lessons! It was a miracle, We told her we had a lesson
at 4:30pm
and she said perfect. It was literally an answer from the heavens, Our
jaws dropped to the floor. so we had that lesson and it went really well
and we were very happy.
We had 5 lessons with
member that week! We tried to have 8 but a couple fell through along
with our plan b,c,d,e,f, etc.... but I learned that lesson in Valdivia
and we still feel very blessed and grateful.
On Sunday
hna B and I sang a special musical number in sacrament
meeting. We sang Come Thou Font in Spanish (which is very pretty) and
it was really well. We sing really good together, she has a very nice
voice.
We visited one of the menos activos
here, hno O and it turns out hes the father of one the 33 miners
from chile. Years ago there was a big mining accident and 33 chileanos
got trapped under ground and it was a huge deal but all of the survived
and now they are like celebrities here, its a very big deal.
Saturday
night it poured down rain. and it caught us by surprise so we weren't
prepared. We got completely soaked, everything absolutely drenched, the
wettest I have ever been. My shoes filled with water. We couldn't feel our
hands or our feet because it was freezing cold too. We came home and it
took us an hour and 2 electric heaters just to get warm again. Plus hna
B's towel caught on fire from the wood burning stove... that
was fun. but only the corner burned off so she can still use it haha.
Our
house is dangerous, the elders waxed the floor a week before they left
but they didn't do it right so now everything is very slippery. I fell
the other day and hna brown has fallen 3 times on the stairs. its
hilarious but we both have bruises haha.
I feel very blessed to be here and we are really excited to be working. I'm really grateful to be a missionary. to be a representative of Jesus
Christ.
Thanks for the emails, have a great week!
love, hermana williams
